🎄The 2023 Holiday Stroll🎄

By: Helena Kalkanis and Crosby Ribeiro

On December 10, 2023 the annual holiday stroll took place in the Marion Center. At 1:30 the Tri County Symphonic Band and the Sippican School Concert Choir performed in the multipurpose room. At 3:00 the festivities moved outside when the 5th and 6th grade band marched and played holiday favorites on the Wharf, in the center of town to welcome Santa. Then, across the street, the Sippican School Beginner Band played in The General Store parking lot at 3:30. After they played, it started to rain and eventually it started to downpour. People started to leave for home while others ran into buildings and under tents. Still, some people stayed to enjoy popcorn, cotton candy, and other delicious treats. Even though it was downpouring like it would never stop, there were still lots of crafts and different activities you could do. It was overall quite an exquisite event to be at!

On October 31, 2023 Kindergarten students walked around the school with their Halloween costumes and stopped by classrooms to sing “The Five Little Pumpkins”.

When we interviewed students, Mickey from Mrs. Roger’s class said she was Geco, and Reagan said she was a cowgirl. From Mrs Horan’s class, Henry said he was a Transformer and Kinley said she was Tinkerbell.

These four kindergarteners and their classes surprised the school with their amazing costumes and wonderful singing.

🎃The Town Halloween Parade👻

By: Brigitta Brannigan and Charlotte Rider

During the spooky season in the fall, the Annual Halloween Parade in our town, Marion, starts at 4:00 on Oct. 31st every year to celebrate! People of all ages came to trick or treat with friends and family. Everyone came together to dress up and walk through our town. Everyone followed the drummers as they marched in the streets. After the parade, many trick or treaters gathered candy and walked with their friends. There were many different and creative costumes. “I was Jason,” says 4th grader Flynn Carrol.

As usual, the Marion General Store gave out king-sized candy bars as well as other candies. All throughout the main roads of Marion by the school and different areas around town gave out candy. There was so much candy, not one trick-or-treater was left unsatisfied.
